1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NICHOLAS P. Lens,-

A still further object is chine which will be simple and inexpensive, yet highly eiiicient and in every way desirable.

With the foregoing objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented bythe accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a new chine constructed in accordance with my. invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section. Figs. 3 and brokenaway, showing the operatidn of the machine in passing over irregular surfaces.

I employ preventing end play connect the rear end 3, provide means for of said rollers, slidably of the tongue 4 with said frame, and-pro vide draft members between said frame and tongue which will interfere inno manner with vertical oscillation of the frame,

nor with the consequent relative sliding of the tongue and frame. The drivers seat S is mounted on the tongue and since the frame and rollers may passage o er the earth, without similarly packers of the tandem- A, further object to provide novel means for takinglip any end play of the .rollers, so that trailing of the circumferento provide a ma l are end elevations, partly a frame 1 carrying the front and rear crushing and packing rollers 2 and slide by preference in the-form of a cross head 9 arm 15 which deing in the flanges Williin most instances be provided 1 which the rod 9 oscillate freely in 7 moving said tongue,'the driver isnot continually jarred as by the tandem crushers now in use nor is excessive neck strain placed upon the team.

he features above briefly described may be embodied in numerous Ways, but I refer to employ the construction described specifically below.

The numerals 6 designate two cast metal end frames disposed; vertically !and conneoted by angle iron bars 7 which extend throughout the full width of the machine, said frames 6 and the bars 7 forming the presentembodiment of the frame 1 above referred'to. The frames 6 car appropriate bearings 8 for the. usual journals of the rollprevented, I provide a transverse tie rod 9 connecting the lower ends of the frames 6 and having at least one as when the ribs upon the ridges is therefore such as the rod 9 for preventing end playof the rollers. I v 13' The frame 1 carriesone or more guides 12 in which a slide 13 on the rear end of the tongue 4 is movable.

passes. but it desired-this 15 bodied the form of two one-piece bars having the": front ends pivoted to while -their rear ends are pivoted at 19 to 'the frames 6, in close proximity to the bearings of the front roller 2. Free oscillation of the frame of the machine is thus pen mitted withmitfexerting neck strain upon the team, and at the same time an effective draft connection isat all times established between the tongue and frame} Since excellent resnlts have been obtainedcomprising a. frame, front and rear rollers 20 carried hysaid frame, a tongue extending forwardly from said frame, means establishing a sliding and pivotal connection be tween said frame and said tongue, and draft means between said-tongue and frame extending upwardly from the sides of said frame to said tongue,

An implement otthe class described comprising a frame, front. and rear rollers 'earried by said frame; a longitudinal guide carried by said frame, atongue whose rear end is slidable along said guide and pivotal with respect thereto, and tween said tongue and frame, extending upwardly from the sides of the frame to the tongue. v
